You hold up that decision as an example of misunderstood moderation?!

We hold that there is no right to reasonably resist unlawful entry by police officers

That's in the first paragraph! Then they go on to engage in a little stroll through history concluding with why they can just skip along with the 1960's fad of making up laws whenever they want to! Oh, and throwing out mmmmm 800 years of Anglo-Saxon common law. Because see, the prisons aren't as mean as they used to be.

Got it. Since tyranny is oh so softer nowadays, it's cool for the cops to step on you.

Reading that "decision" is like a nightmare. These are power mad Leftists ruling from the bench - I don't care if they call themselves something different. That's all they are - totalitarians who believe in state power and state power only. To them, rights are anachronisms that must be crushed in the name of "state policy".

Even Dred Scott didn't capriciously crush the rights of citizens the way this cavalier screed does.

I guess you skipped over the part where they said that's the law in a majority of states. If the current predictions of doom for Indiana are true, then where's the examples of doom from those other states?
